Gandtee Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 To add to the number of inane posts on AN, I have a question. When you are having boiled eggs and soldiers. How do you open your egg? Like me? Do you tap it and peel the shell off the top, or slice the top of? Something I've tried and never mastered. Perhaps someone could enlighten me on this technique?

Woof999 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Haven't had boiled eggs with soldiers since I was about 5, so I'm afraid I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I try to hack off the top. And then maybe I peel a little from the edge which was not hacked off with a clear cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikmar Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I boil eggs and shell them completely before mashing up on toast with soy sauce. To shell them, I put in ice water and crack them before peeling the whole shell off in one go. One of life's more satisfying activities, like putting your finger through the top foil of a newly opened coffee jar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Lou Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) "This is no yoke" Talk about egg on your face, apart from those eggs with stripes on their shoulders and Aviators, I've never seen an egg with a yoke [sic].

EVENKEEL Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 This ritual goes back to a time when eating a whole egg by yourself was luxury. Believe it or not, that's how it used to be in Denmark anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly me. What the l was I thinking about. Old age. One of the crosses, or yokes we have to bear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoutman360 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Thailand eggs are nearly impossible to peel. In the U.S. the shells falls off the egg with little effort. In Thailand, the shell sticks like glue while you slowly pick it off with half the egg going with it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
